FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is text to video AI?
It makes a video from what you write. Describe who or what is in the scene and what should happen, then choose a model to generate the clip.
How do I use the GatsbyAI text to video generator?
Write what you want to see, choose a model, adjust any settings you need, and click Generate video. Watch the result, then change your prompt if you want another version.
How do I write a good text to video prompt?
Start with the subject and one clear action. Add the setting or a camera move if it matters. After you see the result, adjust the part that needs work. AI Optimize can help you add detail.
Can I turn an image into a video instead?
Yes. Add a photo or illustration in the generator and choose a model that accepts images. The image options depend on the model you pick.
Can I generate videos from text for free?
Eligible guests can make up to 2 free videos per day using the default Seedance 2.0 Mini (4s, 480P) when capacity allows. Sign in to claim 10 daily credits. The default video costs 5 credits for signed-in users; other models or settings may cost more.
Which AI text to video models does GatsbyAI support?
You can choose from supported Seedance, Kling, Google Veo, and MiniMax models. Open the model menu to see the versions and settings currently available.
Which is the best AI text to video generator?
There is no single best model for every video. Compare how the available models handle your prompt, and check their settings and credit cost before you generate.
Can I customize video duration and aspect ratio?
Yes, when the selected model supports those controls. Available duration, aspect ratio, resolution, and sound options vary by model.
Can text to video AI generate sound?
Some supported models can generate audio with the video. When a model offers this option, the generator shows a Sound control; other models create video without that control.
How much does AI text to video generation cost?
Credit cost depends on the selected model and settings. The generator displays the estimated cost before you submit a task.
What happens to my credits if video generation fails?
If a video fails to generate, the credits reserved for it are returned. You can try again with a clearer prompt, different settings, or another model.
